Is this very expensive for a tiler?

[bottomsup2]

Hi there, I am hoping that you can tell me whether the tiler who has quoted today is as expensive as I fear please, or if this is the going rate?

Kitchen. 37metres square. Quote includes taking up and removal of existing tiles and then retiling. Tiling quote itself is £925 but there extras are whacking the price up: £210 to supply the latex, £550 to pour the latex, £240 for grout. Total price to retire 37m square kitchen is ££1975. I am supplying the tiles, porcelain ones 600 x 600mm.

Advice and thoughts most welcome please?

How long has the tiler said the job will take? It doesn't sound unreasonable to me and he's taken the time to itemise the quote. Removing the existing tiles could be a pig of a job too.

While it seems expensive you have not indicated how much leveling and preparation is necessary to get it REALLY flat.
You should always have at least 2 or 3 quotes anyway and at this price ask for references locally to view the tiler's previous work.

Looks pretty reasonable to me. £25 per m for laying large scale tiles plus materials/grout is probably the right sort of price imo.

The latex and pouring, again cost of materials only you can judge but how long will it take and how much expertise do you require? Will it take 3-4 days? Work backwards from a skilled day rate...

It sounds pretty reasonable to me. My kitchen is considerably smaller and the tiler took pretty much 3 days to even prepare the space as it was a bit of a nightmare to start off with.

you mean the floor (not walls)? And is it a concrete floor?
